Product Information
Full details
The Brinno BCC2000 Plus Kit is designed for users needing to capture long-term time-lapse videos, particularly in challenging environments like construction sites. Its key benefit is the 'Ladder-free access' enabled by the Extender Kit, allowing full control and monitoring from the ground via a laptop. A potential caveat is the Windows 64-bit OS requirement for the Command Center software. This all-in-one kit includes a professional time-lapse camera, an IPX5 waterproof housing, and a robust mounting clamp, offering extended battery life for multi-month projects and producing ready-to-share Full HD time-lapse videos without post-editing.
